A lot of people report that their lights flicker often, in some cases every minute. Below are some of the common reasons that lights flicker, and what we can do to help.
The Reason Lights Flicker
When current flows through a wire, there is a certain amount of voltage that needs to be used in order to make that current flow freely. This is known as “resistance,” and results in less voltage for various appliances. When your appliances turn on and off, that changes the amount of voltage being supplied to your lights. That will cause them to flicker.
Voltage can drop significantly due to the “inrush current” found in many appliances, meaning they draw much more current when they first turn on. While it is obviously important that your electrical system is properly designed, that will still not eliminate flickering. While it will be barely noticeable, it will still exist.

Again, when flickering happens this is basically a function of the resistance that exists in a circuit. Most of the time this is normal and really shouldn’t be that much of a concern. However, if the amount of flicker changes even though you haven’t done anything to your electrical system, or the flickering becomes substantial, then you may have a larger problem that requires the help of a professional electrician.
